This is vaguely amusing, but probably not a huge deal. You can cause
anyone running zaway to send zaway messages to -c message -i <instance
of your choice>.
zaway subs to <"MESSAGE", "*", ZGetSender()> and replaces only the
sender when it responds. Since it'll respond to unauthentic zephyrs
you just send an unauth message to <"MESSAGE", "bwah-ha-ha", "dupe">
with z_sender="". dupe@ATHENA.MIT.EDU's zaway responds to -i
bwah-ha-ha with his zaway message.
See opuser's message to -i test on Jun 11.
